Hello all! You may have noticed that I've either unpublished or made chapters of some of my work private. That's because there's an uncool site out there called Story Downloader (http://storydownloader.fr) that allows anyone to download your stories for free into a text, pdf, or even an EPUB file!!!! Like, really?? And yes, it works, I checked with one of my own stories. The only way to prevent this is to make every chapter private, or of course, remove your work. I know I'm not a Wattpad star will a crazy amount of reads and followers, but some of you are and I know you'd like to protect your work. My stories will remain this way until Wattpad figures out how to keep this from happening. I apologize to anyone who's currently reading and appreciate you taking the time. @letmelivetonight @tamoja @nicolecollet @karatechop @lanasky

@NicoleCollet I have! Apparently a number of people have gotten in touch with then and they're working on a solution. It's crazy because there's a paragraph on that site that basically says "they don't know whether it's legal or not, but Wattpad won't know if you download so don't worry about it!"
